princess purple pollen

Golden grains, a holy harvest

hovering on fruitful lips;

words are pollen, rich with meaning,

pregnant with potential scripts

.

that sow within a listening soul

a seed of hope – embryo

which, when implanted in a heart

take root, sprout,and start to grow.

.

If unspoken, pollen withers,

loses ground, and starts to die;

if too forceful, it will spatter,

staining as it whizzes by.

.

If applied as God intended,

spread by gentle breeze or art –

pollen counts, and reproduces

life and health and growth by heart.

    Hmmmm….your words have given me a new perspective on pollen. Usually wind borne pollen and I are at loggerheads but, of course, that is not the fault of the pollen but the outcome of our planting habits. I will try to be more polite to pollen because it really does count.

      Oh, oh! I hadn’t thought about allergies… 😦 I used to have trouble with hayfever but that all went away when I went gluten-free – so I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be at loggerheads with pollen.

      1. Gallivanta

        Well done, you. I would probably do better too if I went gluten free.

      2. melodylowes

        It helped clear up digestive issues – the allergies were just an unexpected bonus!

        A bonus not to be sneezed at ! (Sorrreeeeee…..couldn’t help myself :D)
